I'm sorry to report that I have the same issue as the OP.

Your log shows this file is corrupted:

Community\justsim-airport-lfmn-nice\scenery\LFMN.BGL

It's might be a different error than the one we fixed in the latest version, so we might need to add extra defensive checks against corrupted files. If you sort it out, likely by uninstalling\reinstalling the scenery, everything should work, provided you don't have another corrupted file.

Hi Umberto,

Removing the LFMN scenery solved the problem. Everything works now, thank you.

As you say, maybe it is worth having some sort of defensive checks in your software to prevent the whole system from failing for one scenery error.

That's what we added in the current version but, errors might be unpredictable, apparently it wasn't enough to catch this one.

I'm not obviously "ignoring" anything, I simply have too many message to reply to things that has been already replied to in other thread, just to show nothing is "ignored". Your log shows some kind of permission problem on THIS file:

Exception while creating airport cache: CreateFile failed: Access is denied: "\\?\C:\Users\Craig\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community\uk2000scenery-airport-eggd-bristol\scenery\World\scenery\EGGD_AFD.bgl" (system:5)

Do you have some idea why ?

Thats all i was asking for, just to be pointed to where the potential issue was regsarding my log.

I dont know why it is saying that. You think if i disable that airport GSX might work ?

You might try to remove the scenery, and reinstall it, maybe it got corrupted or its permission are not correct.

Hello Umberto
I am new to the forum and I bought the GSX_PRO I have followed the little I could read in the forums but the error still persists, I hope you can support me, I attach the error in Couatl, thanks.

Your log indicates your Packages folder is here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020\HLM_Packages

And from there, only the sceneries in Official folder are being scanned, as if the Community folder wasn't even there, or it couldn't be accessed for some reason, like permission problems.

While a scenery bought in the Marketplace cannot be used by GSX as is, it should at least use data from the default airport, rather than an error. Please post your log.
